AURORA, IT,, February 9.--The rain
for the past forty-eight hours raised
the water so much in the Fox river that
yesterday it was higher than il had
been before for over twenty years. The
ice in the river, which was upward OF
twenty inches thick and not at all brittle,
began to move about noon. gbe first
thing to give way was the City Mills, ct
the cast end of the dam in the east chan
mel of the river, the damage amounting
10 $4,000 on the mill and several
thousand dollars on the stock. A few
hours afterward the water again began
to rise, when several other buildings
along the river bank were swept away.
The approach to the North-ayenue wa-
gon-bridge was also carried away, a. was
the bridge at North Aurora. The base
ments OF all the store-buildings on tho
island and most OF them on the east
bank of ke river were flooded several
feet. The food has now receded.
